Comment on Is bit rot really a threat that I should worry about?

A word of caution on relying on backups without the other types of error prevention: If it takes you a while to notice that bitrot has ruined a file, then it may have already propagated through your backups. The only type of backups that would account for this is archival backups, such as on tape or quality bluray discs.

Yeah, that’s kind of what I expected and I am now thinking of keeping my setup how it is currently and getting a mini PC for less important data and services to tinker with.
